Hey! Well I just finished watching this great film but.. Someone told me on this web site that De Niro didn't die at the end, but in the movie well it sure looked like he was about to. Still I felt that De Niro's death added something to the end and made it special. I think the movie should have been a bit shorter, but it did have some good scenes. Here are the "Key" scenes:
-The opening narration "You don't make up for your sins in church. You do it in the streets. You do it at home. The rest is B.S and you know it"
-Introduction to the main characters
-The scene at the Billiards Place and the whole conversation involving the word "mook"
-The scene involving De Niro making up a story about the money
And there are many more. THis film was good but not great. I would give it a 3 out 5

Welcome, Nick V! Glad you liked "Mean Streets." I'd give it 10 out of 10, but that's one man's opinion. It looked to me as if all of them in Tony's car were alive at the end (and being led away to an ambulance). I think the point there was not whether they lived or died, but that Michael was able to attack them without fear of Charlie's uncle Giovanni.
The scene in the back of Tony's car is one of the best ever to appear in a Scorsese film--it has that ad-libbed quality that makes his films so realistic and natural. That doo-wop sound track is wonderful, too. IMO, it was Keitel's greatest performance, and DeNiro's second-greatest (after "Raging Bull").
BTW: the actors who played Michael (Richard Romanus) and Tony (David Proval) turned up on "Sopranos": Romanus was Melfi's ex-husband, Proval was Richie Aprile. The shooter in Michael's car at the end of "Mean Streets" was Scorsese himself.

Yes, welcome to the BB! Mean Streets is a fantastic film, and one that stamped Scorsese's prowess on the film industry! A young De Niro is fantastic in what I consider to be in his top 3 roles. Keitel is also great, as well as not-so-nasty-this-time Richie April (David Proval). Mick PS> What is a mook?

Thanks everyone  I am glad to be here. I actually ordered a cable channel just to catch Mean Streets. And next month they will be showing Goodfellas. I only started to like gangster films a few months ago after watching Godfather. The Goodfellas DVD/VHS is always missing from my local video store, and I cant wait to see it. Casino in my opinion was amazing.

FH and GF: Scorsese played a character named Shorty (Charlie calls him "Shorts"). He's in another scene: Charlie's on the street outside a storefront, talking to Michael, and there's Shorty. Charlie, ever the diplomat, says, "Hey, Shorts..." and Shorty says, "F*** you, Charlie!" or something equally hostile. You wonder who he is and what he's doing with Michael. Then he shows up in the backseat of Michael's car, with the gun...
Nick, you've never seen "Goodfellas"? Oho, are you ever in for a treat!!!
